Long version:
Hi everyone -
I've been using Shopify for 2 years as a marketer and ecommerce manager, and I've sold >$500k worth of product in 2018. But, we use Slack, and I've always wanted a Shopify app that sent order notifications for new, refunded, and fulfilled orders to Slack but I also wanted this app to include discount codes used, tags, and UTM tracking for the order so I know what's working and what's not. I tried every app I could find, and nothing had this level of tracking in their Slack notifications.
So, I decided to learn to code and make an app myself.
Shoppy connects your Shopify store with Slack so you can receive important order notifications and summaries sent straight to Slack, reducing the amount of time you spend pulling order data and giving you more time to focus on growing your store. And, because I wanted to solve my own problem, Shoppy is the only app that includes discount codes used, tags, and Google Analytics/UTM associated with our orders. You can also receive daily, weekly, and monthly summaries that include order counts and revenue for that date range, and I'm working on automating these summaries for a future update.
For those curious, the app is built with Rails, hosted on Heroku, and heavily uses the Shopify api gem. It was surprisingly easy to get started, and all the payments are handled by Shopify so I didn't need to bring in a third party payment processor like Stripe.
I just submitted the app to Shopify for review, but I'm looking for beta users to try Shoppy out and provide feedback. I've also included 7-day trials for the Premium and Elite tiers so you can try them out completely for free and you can cancel any time.
If you're interested, here's a link to install the app: https://shoppy.emerald.io
And, if you have any questions/feedback about Shoppy or if I can help answer any marketing or ecommerce questions about your Shopify store, please comment below!
Thanks!
